I have a small round tabletop I want to use over our steering wheel as a table. The wheel can be adjusted to a level position. Does anyone know how much weight the steering column/wheel can hold? I was planning to put the portable ice maker on the table. I think the ice maker weighs about 50 lbs.

Thanks, Dennis! DH would shoot me if one of my projects screwed up the steering.

The tabletop I want to use is from one of those particle board side tables with screw on legs. The flimsy legs disappeared a long time ago. I'm confident dh and I can find a good way to stabilize the top to hold the ice maker. This will be great for getting the ice maker out of the way. Now if I can just get DH to put an elec outlet in that area. ;-)

Dick, when I put ours into the table position it is pretty high. You might need a tall stool to reach your computer comfortably.

I don't think it would be a problem either. Of course lifting the 50 lb ice maker up that high could be a little difficult. Hope hubby is a big guy.

We purchased a 1/4 inch by 18 inch round acrylic (clear plastic) from JoAnn's (hobby store) and set it up there with a small table cloth covering it and all of the steering column. Then we set on top of that a really nice little table lamp, a small plant and a little basket for keys and such. Our coach has a 110v outlet just on the right side of the console and we plug the lamp into that. I've been thinking of putting another outlet on the left side of the console so that the lamp's cord is laying out in the open. Another project....another day.

Scrapz...Your coach wheel should support what you want to do without an issue. Just one caution. Make sure you're not depressing the air horn bar when you put weight on the wheel. When you're aired down, your airhorn won't make any noise, but it will operate the horn and blow the fuse if the pressure is constant.

I had placed an object on the steering wheel one weekend and didn't realize it was depressing the horn bar. When I drove home, I realized the horn didn't work......I had blown the fuse.

Oh! Yeah! Forgot about the warning about the air horn....DW has done that twice when setting up the inside. Not funny when you're on a ladder cleaning the bugs off the windshield........we just wave to the neighbors like we meant to do it......@Kathy, those tables are great but make sure the metal leg assemblies don't press on the horn button. I left them on in order to keep the table from sliding off the steering wheel, but you have to watch their placement.....Dennis
